fun facts

  • Starkrimson pears go well with strong cheeses like blue and goat.

storage

  • There is no “right” time to eat a pear. Some people like theirs as crunchy as an apple, and choose to eat them when they are firm. Others like them soft as butter, with fully yellow skins.
  • Store pears at room temperature, and depending on the variety, they will ripen in a few days.
  • If you want to speed things up, place the pears in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple — these other fruits give off ethylene gas, which the pears will soak up and then start to produce themselves, speeding up the ripening process.
  • Ripe pears do not last very long on the counter or pantry and will keep much longer if stored in the refrigerator.
